[postgis-users] Encoding error on shp2pgsql

[Paul Ramsey]

Your shapefile attributes have hibit characters in them. As the error
message states, you might want to try a LATIN1 encoding (if your data
are western european) or perhaps another more appropriate encoding
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/multibyte.html) if they are
not.
